摘要： A multilayer body is formed by alternately stacking electrode films serving as control gates and dielectric films in a direction orthogonal to an upper surface of a silicon substrate. Trenches extending in the word line direction are formed in the multilayer body and a memory film is formed on an inner surface of the trench. Subsequently, a silicon body is buried inside the trench, and a charge storage film and the silicon body are divided in the word line direction to form silicon pillars. This simplifies the configuration of memory cells in the bit line direction, and hence can shorten the arrangement pitch of the silicon pillars, decreasing the area per memory cell.
